Chapter 1681 You Forced Me

In fact, Rock can also understand why the British Parliament did this.

The British Empire is at sunset, and southern Africa is booming. The British Parliament always looks for opportunities to refresh its sense of existence. It disgusts southern Africa, so as to satisfy the British people's inner sense of superiority.

The problem is that the current British Empire has less and less influence on southern Africa, and there are fewer and fewer cards that can be played against southern Africa, so it can only disgust southern Africa in this regard.

I have to say that this move really disgusted Rock.

However, Rock is not a character who can bear the burden of humiliation. If he is disgusted, he must intensify his efforts to fight back. He has to let the British Parliament know that this way is not going to work.

"Locke, there is no malice in the London Parliament granting honorary white status to the Chinese in southern Africa. This just proves that the London Parliament is improving the social status of the Chinese in southern Africa. Isn't this what you dream of?" Kitchener still didn't understand Rock, Probably think that all Asians are willing to leave Asia and join Europe.

"Marshal, the Chinese in southern Africa are not different from the whites in personality. The so-called honorary whites cannot improve the social status of the Chinese. If the Chinese in southern Africa accept this title, it just proves that the Chinese in southern Africa are inferior. This is all What is unacceptable to the Chinese in Southern Africa is also unacceptable to the Federal Government of Southern Africa.” Rock disagreed with Kitchener’s statement that at least in Southern Africa, Chinese and whites were equal.

"Locke, don't forget that the current international rules are still made by white people!" Kitchener also expressed indifference. He still has a traditional colonial thinking in his bones, and he will not change just because he has a good relationship with Rocke.

Maybe there are, otherwise Kitchener would not have come to tell Rock the so-called "good news" immediately.

That's good news, at least in Kitchener's view.

"Rules are meant to be broken—" Rock refused to give an inch. Both he and Kitchener represented the interests of different groups, and there was no way to retreat.

"You need to calm down and remember your identity. If you make the wrong choice, the whole of southern Africa will be rejected by civilized society. This is definitely not what you want." Kitchener knew that the quarrel would not bear fruit, even Without saying "goodbye", he turned around and left.

Rock was not angry, since Kitchener had never said goodbye before anyway, and he never knocked on the door when he came to Rock.

"Good morning, Marshal—" Owen from India was queuing up at the door, and greeted Kitchina politely.

Kitchener was furious, nodded casually and hurried away.

Owen was smart enough not to ask, and continued the topic from last night.

"——Marshal, you have also worked in India. You should know that Indians are hateful. Those Indians simply shouldn't stay in this world. They are worthless except to consume food—" Owen uttered nonsense.

Rock smiled politely on the surface and nodded again and again, but in fact he didn't listen at all, and Owen's words fell on deaf ears.

Rock didn't want the status of "honorary white man", Indians must be very rare.

If Indians know that the Chinese in southern Africa have been awarded the title of "honorary white man", I don't know if Indians will go crazy with jealousy.

If you think about it this way, the Indians are indeed a good target to take advantage of.

Moreover, the weakness of the British Empire is not limited to India. There are many ways to make the British Empire uncomfortable, but the methods must be concealed and no obvious handles can be left. Kitchener is at least right in saying that if southern Africa wants to maintain the current development momentum, then it is necessary to keep a low profile and try to avoid the expansion of conflicts.

In fact, it doesn't matter if it expands. If the relationship between southern Africa and the British Empire deteriorates, then the Americans must be very happy.

The French will be happy too.

Japanese will be happier.

The Germans would be happy too—

The Germans should be the happiest. If Southern Africa still maintains a good relationship with the British Empire, to put it bluntly, after the mustache comes to power, it will be a problem whether he dares to launch the Second World War.

But if Southern Africa breaks with the British Empire—

Thinking about it this way, Rock immediately became completely black.

George V is now in southern Africa—

"Marshal, Marshal—Marshal—" Owen's expression was broken. He spoke dryly, but he didn't get any response from Rock.

Looking carefully, Rock's focus of sight was not even on Owen, but behind Owen.

Owen looked back subconsciously.

Behind it was a large, bare white wall.

real--

It's really simple.

"I'm sorry Owen—you said, I'm listening—" Rock finally came to his senses.

Owen said nothing, with a stubborn expression.

Even if the title of the Marquis is higher than that of the Baron, even if the national power of Southern Africa is stronger than that of India, even if Owen served under Roque during the World War——

Oh, forget it, since your attitude is so sincere, then forgive you.

"Marshal, I mean—" Owen was really depressed. The governor of India is also the governor, and the governor cannot be misused as a cadre.

But thinking that Roque just ran away with a governor, Owen immediately lost his confidence.

"Yes!" Rock agreed very simply, holding back a lot of reasons that Owen was going to use to persuade Rock.

In the afternoon, Winston came to see Rock. He didn't need to make an appointment to see Rock. He could jump in line at any time.

"Did you quarrel with the old marshal?" Winston asked cautiously.

"The London Parliament wants to ride on the neck of southern Africa, what do you want me to do?" Rock's anger was still there, and the fire was simmering in his stomach all day long.

"It's not as serious as you said. London also wants to improve the social status of the Chinese in southern Africa. The Chinese in southern Africa will not be discriminated against, but what about in the world?" Winston spoke earnestly, with different positions. The conclusion is naturally different.

"Heh!" Rock said simply and clearly.

Winston's reasoning is not valid, and the Oklahoma State Legislature's declaration that Sarah is white does not help the social status of other blacks.

The double standard of white people is so direct that they cannot be judged by common sense.

"Perhaps the London Parliament did not consider it, but you have to admit that this is very helpful to the improvement of the social status of the Chinese. The Commonwealth has accepted the status quo in southern Africa. This is a good thing, and you should be happy." Winston also admitted that the London Parliament The purpose is not simple, but Winston also has a position.

"Winston, did the London Parliament accept the status quo in southern Africa because of the Chinese in southern Africa, or did it accept the status quo in southern Africa because of its strength?" Rock asked a sharp question.

"Locke, Southern Africa is really strong now, but it has not yet reached the level of changing the international order. Think about it, whether to accept this reality or become an enemy of the whole world, this question is not unanswerable." Winston said It's a bit heavy, even if southern Africa breaks with the British Empire, it doesn't mean it's an enemy of the whole world.

"Come on, Winston, you know what the London Parliament means. They just want to disgust the southern Africans, and not just the Chinese in southern Africa, but all southern Africans, because the current southern Africa is built by everyone's joint efforts. It's—" Rock didn't shy away from it. The British Parliament really had sinister intentions. While disgusting the Chinese in southern Africa, it could also create social divisions in southern Africa. How vicious.

In the evening, Roque was going to hold a dinner for King George V and his wife at the Palace of Justice. When they went home to change their clothes, Phyllis hesitated to speak, and obviously knew about the conflicts between Roque, Kitchener and Winston.

"Don't worry, Southern Africa is capable of dealing with any accidents." Roque has confidence. In addition to the United States, Japan, Germany and France, don't forget that there is Russia in the north. There are many potential allies in Southern Africa.

To put it bluntly, the world has been suffering for a long time, only some people have to rise up.

However, the British Parliament did not forget to add sand to southern Africa under such circumstances. Rock didn't know what to say.

"I know that no matter what decision you make, I will support you unreservedly—" Phyllis supports Roque unconditionally. The two have been together for decades, and there is still a tacit understanding.

Roque gave Phyllis a big hug, and when he appeared at the dinner party, he was a fearless and tough prime minister.

This time it was Rock's turn to make the welcome speech.

"——The Federal Government of Southern Africa has been established for almost 20 years. In the past 20 years, we have united as one and built a strong and rich southern Africa. We are fearless and face any difficulties calmly. In Prime Minister Alfred Milner , and under the leadership of Prime Minister Philip Matilda, we have survived the most difficult stage-now Southern Africa has the ability to face any difficulties and is confident to defeat any enemy. We never provoke disputes, but we have never Not afraid of any challenge, anyone who wants to make an enemy of 6700 million southern Africans must be prepared to be destroyed—” Rock showed his sharpness in his welcome speech, and at this time he was about to take his seat, and Rock didn’t name them anyway.

When Roque was giving a welcome speech, the southern African officials automatically lined up behind Roque, Buck, Owen, Stoudemire, Young Smother, Ada, Ade and Philip.

They all know what happened, and at this special moment, they chose to advance and retreat with Southern Africa.

Kitchener stood in the corner of the banquet hall with a dignified expression and was alone, without noticing that the wine in his hand had spilled all over the floor.

George V and Queen Mary were just across from Roque, and they seemed to have no idea what was going on, smiling and listening to Roque's speech, surrounded by the two princes, John Bald, Stanley Bruce, Julian Bean , Owen, Winston and other important imperial ministers.

"—The world has entered a new era, we are facing unprecedented challenges, the future still has ups and downs, thorns, contradictions, and wars, how to go further in this new era is worth all of us Thinking—" Roque didn't wish His Majesty the King a long life, nor did he wish the British Empire a long life, as for what George V thought, Roque didn't care.
